You have to create PLC Connect Generic Control Network then change the driver from Internal driver to PLCOPC clinet driver which will collect data from OPC server. In service structure you assign the AC800M OPC adaper as OPC DAserver. So this PLCOPC driver will start collecting data from AC800M OPC Server. There is no link between CCB and PLC Connect . CCB is only used for engineering the application for AC800M Controller

After creating the PLC generic network , you have to change the driver from internal to PLC OPC da ... But the whole architecture of your application will not be recognized by the driver. you have to create the process objects & link each individual opc tag to signals under process object .
